Carlo Ancelotti insists success in the Champions League can salvage Chelsea's season after their hopes of winning the FA Cup for a third successive season ended with a penalty shoot-out defeat against Everton.
Ancelotti's Cup holders crashed out 4-3 on penalties after drawing 1-1 with Everton in Saturday's fourth round replay at Stamford Bridge.
"We now have to look forward to use these next days to recover well for the next game in the Champions League," he said.
"I think we have the time. It will not be easy but we have the time. We have to be able to move on quickly from this defeat. We have a very important game in the next period. We have to move on quickly, mentally.
"I think it could be a very good season for us because we are staying in competition in the Champions League and want to win it," he said.
